And then some good food after." Everyone had been extremely welcoming, except for Byakuya. But that was just how the Captain was. "If you guys do stuff like we do... less formality sounds like nothing but good to me." He paused to think for a moment. "You and Jinn-san are the only two guys from your world here, right?"

He toyed with his glass of milk. It gave him something other than Obi-Wan to reasonably look at. "Yeah," he said. "I think most are on board with that. There are a lot of good people." He smiled slightly. "Even the kids are trying to be strong about it."
